As we begin a new quarter, I can’t help but look back at the last year and its highlights. 2018 was a year of growth for Berkeley. The agency has seen many exciting new clients come on board, giving us the opportunity to work on some really interesting and topical campaigns. In 2018, we took…

On a chilly lunchtime stroll around Green Park last week at the height of an exciting media sell-in, after crossing the creaky wooden bridges and emerging at the foot of one of the many lakes on-site, I noticed a keen fisherman with a big bushy beard, patiently waiting for his latest catch. At first baffled by…

What’s in a name? Or perhaps to be more accurate, what’s in a title? Last week, after months of speculation, Marvel revealed the title of the final Avengers film.
